What the report says about zoning in Shannon County

Home occupation permit required:: Varies
Details:: Shannon County (historically the Pine Ridge area, largely tribal land under Oglala Sioux Tribe jurisdiction). No county-specific home occupation permit requirement for cottage food identified. Tribal land users should also consult Oglala Sioux Tribe regulations.
Home kitchen:: South Dakota SDCL §34-18-35 exempts homemade foods prepared at a residence from licensure. The 2022 amendment (SL 2022, ch 106) expanded beyond prior baked-goods-only scope. Individuals selling certain home-processed canned goods must complete a state-certified online training once every five years. No sales cap. County/municipal ordinances restricting homemade food sales are preempted by state law. Note: Shannon County was renamed Oglala Lakota County (FIPS 46102) in 2015; this FIPS 46113 record may reflect a legacy designation.
